Baron Davis Explains How Phil Jackson Ruined the Knicks 

Total hater

Why would he hate the man slept on a teammates couch he was a bum he got expose in the playoffs get over it

@@darrellbarton9395 He was jealous of the type of love that Lin was getting. Maybe, he should've locked in and gotten better.

no matter what Melo says people will always ride with that narrative. the man is here saying what happened inside that locker room and ya'll talking like ya'll was in that locker room with them. i believe he was supportive of Lin but the Media, pre "new media" and players taking a stand against bullshit media narratives, just wrote wtv narrative it wanted and people rode with it like it's the truth. the media BEEN bullshittin. Separated Bron and Kyrie, tried to shoot Kyrie's career down. Butler was a supposed locker room cancer. Fuck the media and you're a sheep if you ride those fool's narratives.

@@swishdipper4362but it was Lin that flamed or not Melody’s

Man, the Knick were garbage way before he came and the same way after he left.

What did he do? They were run terribly before him. He continued to be terrible? Ok, but they were used to it at that point.

Phil Jackson should be given the medal of honor for what he did for the Bulls and Lakers. Carmelo is the reason the Knicks failed

@@a-tre8798 ooooooooooook

@@a-tre8798no he’s not Dolan, Phil, and those yes men were.

That's a dunce statement....95% of the draftees work out for teams well before draft day!! Get a bigger 🧠!!

@@geeroy8880 perhaps you should look in the mirror. Where did I say he worked EITHER of them out on draft day? If you do your RESEARCH you’ll find that Phil indeed fell asleep during Mitchell’s workout and never brought Frank in for one. Now sharpen up on your comprehension skills before you embarrass yourself trying to be insulting on line! 🙄

@gbo3225 You said Phil fell asleep during the workout.... each franchise has a team of people who are involved in the draft process, not just the president!!

@@geeroy8880 how are you defending the team president falling asleep during a workout? Expecting someone to be awake while at work seems reasonable

@@phonefamoustv7930 Did you see him? Again during drafting it not one person but a team Individuals for a franchise!! PHIL'S RECORD speak for itself....does Melo's?

probably top 5 worst knicks trade ever

That was Glen Grunwald

Don't know why by the time he left Toronto he was washed up

Now u got kids talking about Melo trash bc management was trash

Andrea Bargnani was great. Knicks didn’t know how to use him. He was a major three pointer offensive juggernaut machine gun. Y’all just are a poverty franchise. One of the greatest players you got and you fkd that up

You clearly didn’t watch the whole interview.

Teams figured out Lin and then he left that summer to Houston. Melo didn’t do anything to Lin.

​@@JohnnyScumbagghe did himself no favors not playing against the Heat that playoffs.

@@bohammondlee7472 Ayo P!

Lin still has more rings than melo 🤷🏻‍♂️ idk why he’s talking

The Knicks record with and without Steve Mills is stunning. It's like he was trying to lose

@@jonstfirmin7680 lol for sure. Dolan loved just him for some reason. Took too long to get rid of him

lol when Melo tried to defend him for being “in a shitty situation” I woulda been like “Yeah and he made it shittier”

@@brianogrady3185 yeah Melo probably meant it was a shitty situation when Mills was working under Phil. The reality is there was a significant period of time when Mills was the President, and things weren't much better.

the bargagni trade was horrible

He gave him $75k. That was money to get him back on his feet, not to suit up.

SAS a 🦜

😂

facts

nah, they touch on your mother tho

you sound stupid

How he ruin them?

LOL

I would love to know how he ruined the Knicks.

Deep down LinSanity makes him feel a certain kind of way

⁠Ashamed is probably the right word..

What are you talking about?

Y’all be acting like Lin was special or something.

Coaches Indiana University currently

@@JQUE94 well i meant NBA.

It's a damn shame about Woody for real.

@@vindigga6 I got you and I agree but NBA likes retreads and unproven coaches to take these HC spots.

Because Lins 1 week was more exciting than however long melo was there.

He said he was more upset he got injured than anything. Because he felt nobody gave him a real chance after that. He was only accepted in situations where he would just languish.

Lin is a bigger man than Melo, so no, he doesn't fire shots. Melo got his way in the end and STILL talks shit about Lin any chance he gets. One of the most self-centered "stars" to ever play

Sound dumb af

🤣💯

@@Cantstopfactsbruh look at this díćķşüçķèř just agreeing with anything negative said about Melo even if it’s a pure lie 🤣 Lin ain’t never won a scoring title, been in MVP runnings, or even dropped close to 62 pts with 13 rebs so how tf was his short stint better than Melo’s time in NY? 🥱

Lies Linsanity was trash. It's all about wannabes hyping up non black players for the bare minimum.

@calamarichris4426 That "trash" got signed by a contender and got a ring. After melons Oprah special with Stephen A Smith to beg for a roster spot, his old teams didn't even want him.

😂😂😂😂

Barely lol

Gutting the roster for a ball hog and defensive liability was the worst move Hate melo for what? Never going to the finals? 🤦‍♂️

Which goes to show you what he really thought about Linsanity when it was happening

​@@brandons2842 Exactly.

Lo key hating😂

Rightfully so, it was a flash in a pan. Good times though.

@@Drewb187 nah, last video Melo tried to act like he was supportive of Lin during Linsaity. That's cap!!

Maaaaaaaaaan shut up bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

y’all act like Linsanity woulda beat the Heat if it wasn’t for Melo or sumn delusional Knick fans 😂

As a Knicks I can confirm this is not true. We are tired of the Lin talk already

Lin could have used more support from Melo, instead of the jealousy. No one wanted Melo in the end ironically. At least Lin ended up on a championship squad at his end 😂

Stay off the drugs bro.

cause the triangle didn't fit with their personnel and then it became outdated a few laters

​@@shreyavarma7068 respectfully the triangle got 11 rings wats your argument for outdated

Because he had to play teamball, and have good bbIQ and melon is the antithesis of that.

​@@shreyavarma7068 Melon has 0 First Team All Nba's and 1 Conference Finals appearance. What exactly fits his losing style of basketball?

@@Cantstopfactsbruh it doesn't matter. Melo can fit in triangle but the rest of the personnel can't. you can't run a scheme that doesn't fit ur players lol. Drose is the antithesis of the triangle and theres no point discussing the dfisher era because that was a shitshow with shitty players

What?? Bro would have taken you 5 seconds to find out the truth instead of spreading lies... this season, Brunson shot more than Melo did 5 out of his 6 seasons with the knicks.

@@NoCapJayy But Brunson is shooting at 48% rate while dishing 6.5 assists. Knicks Melo was 44% FG and 3 assists. I used to watch Melo. Even before Harden, he was originator of: "Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.....SHOOT! "

@@NoCapJayy Brunson makes the team better

@@NoCapJayy Post those percentages. You wont because melo was a L chucker.

So you wanted him to take a pay cut ? I don’t get it

Big ego

But you here watching him.

@@bohammondlee7472 And? He still never takes accountability.

It would’ve been hating if Linsanity turn into a success, but it didn’t it last 2 weeks. He spoke out on what was the trash if Lin was that good Houston wouldn’t had got rid of with the lineup with Him, Harden and D12.

Did Linsanity die off, yes or no?

Didn’t it goof?

​@@Shabobin And a contender still signed him while melon couldn't even get signed by his old teams after going on tv begging to get signed. Karma.

@@Cantstopfactsbruh gotta do your research bruddah. The only true contender that signed him is the year he got his ring. After he left the Knicks (2011-2012) he went to the rockets then bounced around with 6 teams until he got to Toronto, then went to China. What you're speaking of with Melo, was a year off after that BS with the rockets. Then still helped the blazers next year with the playoffs in the bubble.

He did way more than Phil

Name a time before 2000 to 2017 that the Knicks got to the playoffs without Melo.. I'll Wait

@@Shabobin 2004. I fully agree the Knicks have sucked for decades. That doesn't mean that Melo did anything great. Does it? Melo is apart of the losing history.

@@josereyes1148 what do you expect a person to do when they aren't given the tools to succeed? Are you kidding me? Lol. You just said 2004 then 10 years after that, Melo gets there and takes them to the playoffs. 2004 they got swept. Come on man. The Knicks organization couldn't even put a winning team around him after that initial run. You have to stop the bias

@@Shabobin it's almost like....your inventing an argument to win... I told you I agree with you the Knicks were trash...

It was Phil fought

In his mind he's the best ever to exist and can do no wrong

@@jwill9237 both of yall sound stupid

​@@jwill9237 he has never suggested that stop it

@@dariusmiller9645 So what does he take accountability for?

@HernanMendez-ws4ed what is it to take accountability for? They lost it happens. Not like he lost with some super team or something. Most his prime he had lebron and Miami to deal with amongst other teams.

He threatened to go to the Nets. Corona Anthony wont admit it.

Melo definitely took nights off during those last two seasons with the Knicks

@@Cantstopfactsbruhstill sucking Melo off

Yet these Knicks fan still blaming Melo

@@speakthetruth7679 The guy with 1 Conference Finals who’s a well known blackhole on offense and defensive liability?

Phil was trash. How did he do with Kobe Dwight nash and Pau

2013 Knicks was the best. The 2012 Lin team was trash

Jealousy

He always does because he is jealous.

He was not coaching and then he didn't get the personnel to run it as the gm

@@bohammondlee7472exactly and who did he win those chips with. Jordan Kobe Shaq and Pippen.

Those same players played many years without Phil. How many rings did THEY win? Kobe and Shaq’s Laker teams were trash until Phil came. Plus Phil still managed to get the Bulls deep in the playoffs without MJ. He may be an ass but he’s a great coach.

If and buts eh lmao!!! ... facts say 10 rings ..

@@Hunter_s_morrison 11 Rings. 6 with MJ + Pippen. 3 with Shaq & Kobe. 2 with Kobe.

@@CCEkeke 11 sorry ..lol

Nah brah he definitely managed EGOs on his way to 10 rings. That's very hard to do.

How did Phil get those rings oh yeah the top two shooting guards all time, a top 5 center all time and Scottie Pippen the ultimate Swiss Army knife. Who the hell was on the Knicks. Also Phil never coached the damn Knicks he hired Derek fuccing fisher

Adolescent logic.

Melo was never that guy. He chuck wagon. It's been proven 😂

Phil didn't help anything working from Manhattan Beach 😅

C u proof people comment and don't know shit check the records

And Melo didn't right?

No disrespect.... but your account of history is wrong. Melo was already with the Knicks for 3 years before Phil came there and destroyed the Knicks with his terrible drafting (Knox & Ntilikina), terrible free agent signings (Derrick Rose Joakim Noah) and terrible trades( Kristaps traded away for nearly nothing). Sorry....Phil was the WORST executive we've had since I've been a fan and he alienated our one star, Carmelo. He was a bum for us.

@@Jcrysis I've been a fan of the New York Knicks since 1984.... who said Phil got melo?it was Dolan that forced that trade ... I think you need to reread my post.... Isaiah Thomas was the absolute worst. Phil Jackson was second worst....

Waiting till the off-season would've been the intelligent move but his fans say he would've been broke.

@@Cantstopfactsbruh but he would've had a better team around him... They literally traded all the starters, and like two of the Best bench players... look at that trade...melo should've waited...

If you're such a knicks fan then u know the real story.. First of all Scott Layden destroyed the knicks... Isaiah came in and tried to do patchwork with names and contracts and failed unfortunately. As for Melo.. why do yall continue this narrative? Denver wasn't gonna let him walk for nothing in free agency he said that the only extension he would sign is in NY.... MEANING at the time the NJ Nets.. do u remember this at all? It was all but certain that Melo was going to Jersey who was moving to Brooklyn? Do u have any memory of that? The Knicks desperate to put a star next to Amare put together a better package than the Nets... The rest is history...Draft picks are a dice roll my brother u don't know what those are gonna be.. And Mozgov Gallanari, Chandler never went on to be great players the knicks regret giving up we got Felton back for the love of GOD what was so precious that was lost in that trade yall harp on so much? The Knicks would be assholes with a shit front office if they twiddled their thumbs and let Melo go to BK with D Will and Brook lopez right?....Did u expect Chauncy to tear his Achilles and retire in the 1st round against Boston? Or for Amare to have back spasms and NEVER look like anything close to the guy that was signed from Phoenix? Knick fan my ass

How did you feel when he was scared to play the Heat in the first round that year? He said he was injured when everyone was banged up. Then followed that up by signing that poison pill contract with the Rockets? How u felt the next season when Carmelo led them to the 2nd seed and then Phil came in and tore the whole team the next year.

I'm a Bulls fan, Phil "coached" two great dynasties, he didn't build those teams. He was never in that position before getting to the Knicks. He also had no business in his position with the Knicks. It was a dumb hire that broke up any chemistry that team had. Phil was collecting a check.

@@thelifeandtimesof Phil won Rings at New Knicks....so Melo was problem!!

Bro that knee injury was horrific. Cracked his kneecap I believe but may be wrong

@@JQUE94 you’re on point it was the knee

@@lamontlauren367 I remeber watching it live and seeing the other players raw reaction. Then the camera got a quick glimpse of it and looked like the knee caved in towards the middle of the kneecap 🤯

@@JQUE94 took the morale out of the whole organization 🤦🏾‍♂️ they ain’t been right until last season
